I have worked setting up conventions and while I agree that this shit is usually what people should prioritize I can assure you that it's the last thing people work on. Event organizers care more about all the tables having a cover so they look nice than the tech shit you can't see. Basically, they care more about the visual aspect and the presentation and only once people start bitching hard about it do they take steps to fix the issue. Back when I worked at it we would get SONY tv's for free to place all around the convention but these TVs would cause input lag which is a huge no-no with fighting games (and a part of the convention was a fighting game tournament). We got a ton of shit for it. Additionally, one of the VGA display cables fucked up and for one of the setups we just had to use the standard Xbox RGB cable. The quality was kinda shit for that one TV and we also got a ton of shit because of it.
You can expect shit to improve for the next one.
Been watching some of Evanit0's streams. He mentioned having a special WIFI thing and this is why his stream doesn't look like shit. Lopi is around being chaotic and they are walking around with another Vtuber (Stella, not sure who she is)
Edit: Also Pancho's handler is cute as hell

Mixing is tough. Live mixing even more so. Live mixing for talent who's not even in the room and you have no control over their equipment, distance from the mic or latency even more so. Live mixing that and creating two separate channels for your live audience and the streaming audience even more so. Doing it almost blind with maybe one rehearsal even more so.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that their sound guy isn't an audio engineer and is, at best judging from all the problems I'm hearing about, a guy who knows how to use a DAW and has a pirated version of Soundforge on his laptop. This isn't something you want to skimp on especially when you're trying to make it a big draw. He obviously wasn't doing his job *exceptionally* well if the problems were so bad that even Airi had to bitch about it. I'm sorry to be mean even after Meemaw asked us not to but if you can't do the job then you can't fucking do the job. Coffee is for closers and all that shit.
This has the hallmarks of ignorance and it make sense. Last year Offkai was this small start up. They had a number of issues then but seemed to have learned from them and improved this year. However their growth brought new problems that have bit them on the ass such Internet bandwith and sound problems. They had this big idea for all these performances, started to wonder who was gonna run it, someone said they knew a guy who had a soundcloud, and they all said "Sure. Why not?"

Wdym she seems like she had fun?Sad Numi missed out on picking up online viewers. More oshi for me I guess but still.
I meant I'm sad that more people didn't get to see her.Wdym she seems like she had fun?
Yeah it was odd, Rie said they had one more announcement and if Shiina could do the honors, but Shiina just listed the other events that they had planned at the con.So I guess we didn't get the PC announcement that Lia hinted at? Wonder if it got postponed at the last minute. Hmm.
The best parts of dashcon were the "collective sigh" and the tumblrtrannies raising their fingers like they are in the fucking hunger gamesOkay, can we agree the comparisons to Dashcon are a bit hyperbolic? Remember, Dashcon was promoting concerts by bands that had no idea the event existed, had panelists who did show up not get paid, had to literally pass a hat to raise funds during the con so they wouldn't get kicked out by the hotel while some of the accounting turned out to be fishy by those at the top, and so on. Tech issues could be incompetence but what happened with Dashcon was outright malice.
Pippa will see this survey and somehow still continue to gaslight herself into thinking "it's just a bubble".
Where's Pippa I don't see her...OH! Lol there must be a trash bear colony in this area. Nice to see Sakana Sashimi getting some love (or forced votes from employees). They should have put the stickers over Lumi's face and left her lemons exposed.
Pretty even split among en girls and Sakana sans Pippa dominating everyone else and Tenma slightly ahead of the rest of the pack
Only $250 for Da Michi? And she was last place twice?!Results of cutout auction

And only 5 for her?!? I know someone's gotta be last in one of these but 5? This world....is rotten. Thankfully we've got people like Animal Friend Part 2 doing the hard work of translating her for the rest of the world. Now if only he'd make the vids not close to an hour long. Based Michiru fans had enough foresight to not cover her up with stickers.
Urufugang did make Please Confirm which imo is one of the best and most heartfelt pieces of fan work I've seen.Even outside of OffKai, Uruka does seem to have a really dedicated fanbase, but it definitely showed during OffKai. Good for her, and good for all of them.
